25.01.2022 Good example of a bad heart.. This poor old guy we just seen has several issues but most severe is a heart murmur caused by severe valvular degeneration, causing this marked jugular thrill or back flow up the jugular vein. You can see the pulse up as high as the jaw line, and the horse’s head is well above the heart in that video.

24.01.2022 16 day pregnancy in this mare confirmed yesterday. It was a bit of a battle; three attempts at natural service to no avail, then we changed to chilled semen AI from a different stallion and got her first attempt on that. This mare had excessive post-breeding endometritis and as such took some work during her estrus to manage that. AI often makes that a little easier to control and beat. Glad for her owner, worth the many visits to us.

24.01.2022 When things don’t go to plan at home here! We delivered a live heifer by caesarean on one of our own little cows this week. So far so good.

23.01.2022 Stomach of a horse we scoped earlier this morning. This is something we can do here, rather than often having to be referred away or wait for scoping days. We’re doing more and more gastroscopes and finding plenty of lesions. In this photo you can see the two parts of the equine stomach; the glandular and non-glandular parts, clearly demarcated by the margo plicatus. This horse has some minor changes in the stomach so we’ll treat him accordingly. Also in the second photo is a bot larvae. Remember these are not worms, but rather the larval stage of the Gasterophilus fly.

23.01.2022 This little goat was referred to us today for non-weight bearing lameness of sudden onset. Radiographs revealed a subluxation/dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal joint, resulting in both toes popping out of position. These are nasty little injuries because of the ligamentous injury that occurs. We have realigned the joint and placed him in a cast and I think we will get a decent result. Another great use of casts!! Thanks to this owner for allowing us the chance to try allow this injury to repair.

19.01.2022 Sunday seen us back to work in between roofing our new horse repro/exam area. This calf came over in respiratory distress. We thought we could feel a foreign body in his throat but after using the video endoscope we found he had a very swollen larynx which was all but occluding his trachea. We anaesthetised him and performed an emergency tracheostomy so as you can see he has a temporary tube in his throat to breathe through until his larynx settles. We also had a horse with ...an impaction who we seemed to have fixed; she has been on IV fluids for over 24 hours now and is looking better than yesterday. Breeding continues with a frozen AI done on a mare early this morning and another mare set up for natural service as well. And this arvo we have a horse who has lost a heap of weight coming over for some tests. Good weekend to all our loyal friends and clients. Try stay cool. And ensure pets and livestock have copious cool fresh water and shade at all times.

18.01.2022 Something bit different

17.01.2022 Boss Pug on the job again watching over dentals earlier this evening.

16.01.2022 We’re lucky enough to be treatment vet at this year’s Qld Endurance State Championships, Imbil Qld. Safe travels to all horses and riders.

15.01.2022 Sad news... https://apple.news/AOdhVP5Z6TcepRls8INYXIw

12.01.2022 Welcome to the world. Just delivered a little filly out of this thoroughbred mare. We’ve been watching this mare pretty closely as she’s had some dramas the past few months so well glad this little baby is out alive.

10.01.2022 Free to anybody who wants- I have heaps of small to medium ice bricks that come with cold deliveries. Also styrofoam eskies. Will be going to recycling tomorrow otherwise.

09.01.2022 This could be the longest hook I have seen in 10 years as a vet. Rest of the teeth are rather ordinary too but we’re trying to make best of what he has.

08.01.2022 As we head out to tidy up a few jobs to carry us through to Christmas, I’d like to take this opportunity on behalf of us here at NEEVS to wish our clients a Merry Christmas and a safe and trouble-free time for pets and livestock. If you are religious then may your holy being bless you with a holy Christmas and help bring peace to your family. This song in the short video is timeless I think and is pertinent today as ever. This like all years has been challenging. We awoke t...his time last year wishing for the flames to be dampened by rain and for dust to be mud; the country was on fire and lives lost and animal decimation unseen for many years prior; the rona virus has displaced families due to restrictions imposed; and more lately flooding had caused damage to some people’s properties. May the message and spirit of Christmas be reached upon all our clients and we wish you all and your animals a safe and joyous time. We will be around as normal all the holiday period for emergency and urgent matters.

08.01.2022 We are in the process of major upgrades and adding new facilities. Today seen roof frame go up. Thanks to our good clients for tolerating some upheaval durimg this process and at the end we will be able to offer more services here and avoid sending horses and other animals away for surgery. The plan is fairly hectic over the next year or so to get this done so a big thankyou to all involved and for people’s ongoing support and patience. It will be worth it in the end. A special thankyou to mum who runs the place and greets many of you while I run late, and to my partner Alicia, and Darryl Small for his ongoing help out here. More to come I hope

08.01.2022 Treatment vet today at Fernvale Qld Endurance Ride. Nice day out for it. So far so good. Happy weekend to all our supporters.

07.01.2022 Equine anaesthetist on duty for weekend surgery.

05.01.2022 Dose of nuts for the day... We’ve gelded a few cryptorchid colts of late. This shows the marked difference in testicular size in some of these guys. Cryptorchidism or rigs includes a range of locations where these are retained, ranging from just under the skin, at the end of the inguinal canal, deeper in the canal, or fully abdominal. Most we can retrieve via a larger incision via the inguinal canal. Some we enter the abdomen via a separate incision. And some rare cases unfortunately we have to send for laparoscopic surgery (something we hope to provide here once our refurbishments are completed over the coming months).

03.01.2022 After the rain comes the parasites and diseases We will see an explosion of buffalo flies in cattle (they also annoy horses). Ear tags are the best and most economical deterrence for these guys. The two tag ones are better than single tag brands. In an ideal world everybody in an area would use the same tags to delay resistance. And remember to remove these at the end of the fly season!! Bovine ephemeral fever (3 day sickness) will almost surely arrive very soon. This is m...inimised by vaccination (done NOW, available from us) of bulls especially. Cows and younger animals usually survive with nursing care and some good luck. Intestinal worms- we’re already had the constant flow of goats and sheep with worm issues but this will amplify after the rain. The only effective method of determining suitable worming programs is by using faecal egg counts (as per our previous stuff on horse worms) and consideration of the season. DO NOT over worm; it causes resistance and then we all have fewer effective drugs to use when we need them. Call us to discuss if need be. Yersiniosis (mud scours) is high risk on flooded country. This is minimised by hopefully some follow up rain once the main flood waters have passed. Difficult to impossible to prevent though. Animals can be treated early on with appropriate antibiotics. A side note on drenches/ pour ons etc- Save pour ons for external parasites like lice; they are dubious at best for intestinal worms. They are sold because they are easy to use! Use oral drenches and injectables for internal parasites. A word on liver fluke- these guys require a lymnaed snail as its intermediate host, and the snail requires slow moving FRESH water. So recent drought probably have depleted those. But in general drench for liver fluke in April and September if conditions give rise to the risk factors. We can blood test cattle to show evidence of liver fluke. DON’T use pour ons for liver fluke, they don’t work. Use an oral drench that contains triclabendazole. Happy times after the rains and try keep on top of a few pests as a result...
